Why Can't You Be Lyrics - Ursa Major - Third Eye Blind

Are you frightened by the weight you possess or 

Is this life just weightlessness 

And smoggy twilight in LA 

I can't think of one real thing to say 

And you and me are out walking in the canyons 

She forgets that we were friends 

I guess it all depends on your mood 

Why can't these meds be any damn good 

And she said 

Why can't you be 

Like my waterpik shower massager 

A sweet reliable machine 

And to tell the truth I don't feel less alone 

My water massagers the purest love I've ever known 

Why can't you be 

Like when I was 13

And I said, 

Why can't you be 

Like an art house foreign movie 

Frank and sexy, red balloons and ennui 

And aloof to me, yeah 

And why can't you be 

A little more of a mystery 

Why can't you be 

The part of me that's missing 

Instead of leaving me for some other 

Say we're perfect for each other 

And I know we won't spend our lives alone 

Photos 

And she said, 

Why can't you be 

Like an outsourced government contract 

I'm a fat cat gettin' away with anything 

Kicking some secret special powers 

Illumination rounds in showers 

Cause your tearing your hair out 

While we can have a bed of flowers 

And I said, 

Why can't you be 

Like the chicks out on the road 

Some girls are happy just to see me 

'Cause you got moxie and a broken nose 

You take them away from this prose 

Sometimes a blowjob's not enough 

Why can't you play 

A little less rough 

Why can't you be 

The part of me that's missing 

Instead of leaving me for some other 

Say we're perfect for each other 

And I know we won't go spend this life alone 

Can we 

just leave it be 

We ccould live 

our lives 

separately 

Could you forget 

what happens to you 

To you and me 

When we're dead 

and we'll be dead 

We'll have eternity 

And I will spend it all 

missing you 

Seeing you and me 

So while I'm alive 

I will always be 

Seeking you out 

Digging you out 

Wondering about 

how it goes so far down 

and what's wrong with you 

wrong with you and me 

And she said, 

Why can't you be 

Someone lookin' deeper into me 

Like JD Salinger 

Why do I challenge her 

In all these surface ways 

That you displease 

Why can't you be 

A little more at ease 

Well, 

Why can't you be 

Like a hand rolled cigarette 

I'm not joking 

This masochistic self-pity of smoking 

And this city ditty 

I keep provoking you to leave me 

And she said, 

Why can't you be 

Like a candle I can snuff 

You're still a diamond in the rough 

And I swear to god I've had enough 

How can I 

call your bluff?
